Local time on February 10, 2025, Zhang Guoqing, the special representative of President Xi Jinping, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the AI Action Summit in Paris and delivered a speech.

In October 2023, President Xi Jinping put forward the Global AI Governance Initiative, which presents a Chinese solution and contributes Chinese wisdom to the significant era-defining issue of "how to develop and govern AI." Facing the opportunities and challenges brought by AI development, the international community should join hands to advocate for the ethical use of intelligence, deepen innovative cooperation, strengthen inclusiveness and shared benefits, and improve global governance. China is willing to collaborate with other countries in the AI field to jointly promote development, safeguard security, and share achievements, working together to build a community with a shared future for mankind. All parties are welcome to come to China to attend the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai.
Heads of state, government leaders or high-level representatives from more than 30 countries, as well as heads of international organizations, attended the summit and jointly issued the Declaration on Developing Inclusive and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence for the Benefit of Humanity and the Planet.
